The Humanities Ladder is a unique program that introduces college-level humanities to low-income and under-represented high school students through weekly sessions with Slippery Rock University professors. It is the Stone House Center for Public Humanities' flagship initiative.

This transformative experience empowers students to succeed by providing groundwork forunderstanding the complexities of the world, while fostering empathy for others and a desire to become active and effective citizens. Through the Humanities Ladder, students envision new educational goals and develop greater confidence in civic participation.
